With their 2025 at an end, the Yankees will go at least 17 years between championships. The longest gap between titles for the Yankees currently stands at 18 years (1978-1996).

All UGA struggles, even if they're defensive, will be blamed on Mike Bobo until Bobo is launched via trebuchet out of Sanford Stadium and into a neighboring county.

Can't wait for UGA-Auburn to end with both teams in the high 30s or 40s and have every Bulldog fan be incandescent with rage at Mike Bobo

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

Multiple tweets from Nazi Jack Posobiec in 2016 making "jokes" involving the Nazi code "1488."

It remains humorous how some notable folks on this site still refuse to call Trump fascist, but I digress.

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

Kristi Noem’s gestapo shoots faith leaders, but she’ll gladly have her propagandists photograph her praying before eating fast food to give off the impression that she’s a woman of faith.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

Matt Yglesias QT'ing Corey Walker

I didn’t rejoice at her cancellation and got cancelled myself at roughly the same time, but I am sincerely jealous that no regime-aligned billionaire has even fit to curry favor with the Trump administration by giving me a huge sum of money.

The vitriol against Bari Weiss is just thinly-veiled jealousy by people who rejoiced at "cancelling" her in 2020 and are furious she managed to get fabulously wealthy in an infamously brutal and low-paying industry.

I watched the very end of the UNC game just before they cut away to the Gators. I've never seen an FBS stadium so empty. Then Belichick is calling timeouts with mere seconds left with no chance of coming back? Even ESPN made fun of him as they cut to the studio and ended the broadcast.

Joel Mendelson @jpmendelson.bsky.social · 1d

I get that UNC was desperate, but any up and coming coordinator would've made a better coaching hire than Belichick. He looked completely cooked in the NFL after Brady left, then all the Jordon Hudson stuff...So many red flags and yet....
